I ate here a couple of times. I thought the food was decent.
Why the close?
Oh goody, another Starbucks or McDonalds!!
Sad day, but cities are organic things and change is inevitable.
I totally scooped the Globe on this story. They have an article, today.
Yay…………………..They self destructed………
$200, 000 in meal tax $$ they collected from you and never paid the Comm of Mass…….bad service….bad food……. bad management……rude waitstaff…….
That Globe article was a fluff………totally untrue………what do you expect when they got the info from the family………
I had heard from a few people that the place had gone downhill a bit over the past couple of years, but it is still kind of sad to see this place disappear. I guess the market may be moving elsewhere in the South End at some point.

The owners / family seem to place blame on the shoulders of the neighborhood.
Regardless of their claims to the contrary, I still feel their problems are financial - meaning, they owed a boatload of money in taxes, and saw no way out.
